Murder or Suicide?

New YORK, June 16.-The Staten
Island police reported this morning that
the body of a woman had been found on
the beach at Clifton, and that from its
condition they thought murder had
been committed. The deceased looked
to be about thirty years of age, about
five feet four inches in height, with long
blonde hair and blue eyes. The clothes
were of fine material and fashionably
made. The woman wore a black cloth
sacque, black dress and flannel under
clothes, cloth shoes, rubber OverShOeS
and black kid gloves. In the pocket of
the dress was found handkerchief
marked sc. r." and pOcketbOk con-
tanning four cards marked respectively
''MrS. j. G. Coffin, 1T Taylor street,
BrOoklyn;" 'AIrs. Coffin, 11S and 120
Clyster street," ''Charles Porter, 130
West Fifty-seventh street, New York."
and Mrs. Caroline KieSel." A pair of
gold earrings with black and white
stones were also found. There was
tied to the left ankle about four feet of
rope. The body was taken to the
mOrgue at Clifton. Later the Brooklyn
authorities telegraphed that the dead
woman found on the Staten Island
beach had been identified as Miss Caro-
line Keisler, sister of Mrs. Richard
Walker, of this city. 1t is now believed
that the woman committed suicide ON
account of disappointment in love. She
was respectfully connected and moved
in good society in Brooklyn.

A PALPABLE ERROR.

A Minneapolis contemporary has evi-
IDENTITY lately neglected what should be
the most pleasant duty of the day, the
reading of the GLOBE, or else it would
hardly have made the astonishing aSSer-
ton that this paper has ignored the ear
penterS' strike and has refused to say
anything regarding it. Our friend of
the Flour City is wrong as usual. The
GLOBE has not only not ignored the
strike, but in addition to reporting every
development of it freely, has called
upon the parties to the controversy time
and again to appoint a conference COM
mittee and arbitrate their differences.
So far. we regret to say, the advice has
not been needed. 1t will eventually be
taken, however, and if in the meanwhile
the city'S interests suffer through
the standstill of building operations, it
is not the fault of the GLOBE which, has
perSiStently pointed out that contin-
uance of the strike would result in moth
ing but injury. 1t is not that the re-
mark of our contemporary particularly
called for comment that we make these
remarks, but simply another occasion is
thus afforded us for intimations to the
contractors and their employees that in
arbitation can be found the only salts

each side is trying, in its own way, to

would come on the market. Griffith,
Marshall d Co. were one of the leading
firms OF Duluth, as they were of Mime
apoliS, and their trouble is most serious
under the present break. Had it come
tuesday or yesterday during the great
excitement and their wheat come on the
market matters would have been much
more serious here, as it was we'll known
they represented Chicago clique houses
here and were long great
deal OF wheat. The amount is
not known, but is supposed to have
been at least 100000 bushels. They
responded to margins up to Yesterday,
when they sold wheat right and left and
about evened trades up. They will
probably be able to pull through all
right. No one will lose anything by
their trouble but themselves. The
close was easy with little do
ing. Cash wheat sold at
71@72c and closed about 72a1c. June
closed at 7235c. July ranged from 719lc
at the opening to 7319c, closing at 7315c
bid, sellers at 734c. August opened at
1870, advanced to 75c, dropped back
and closed at 74Mc Afternoon
Board-The market was quiet, with
small trading. There was no change
in the situation. Cash sold at 72I5c.
July sold at 73c and 721sc, closing at
723Sc bid. August and September sold
at 745sc. September closed at 7459c bid.

Milling in Transit.

CHICAGO. June 16.-The general man.
ayers of the Northwestern roads be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul met to-day
to hear the conclusions of the commit
tee of general freight agents appointed
to consider the milling-in-transit rates.
Two reports were submitted, one rec
ommending the abolition of the transit
system, and the other its continuance
under certain restrictions. Neither
was adopted, and it was agreed that the
general condition of the through grain
and flour rates between st. Paul, Mime
apOliS and Chicago should be referred
for settlement to the three general man.
ayers to be named by the chairman.
Another committee, consisting of Chair
man Faithorn, F. B. Clarke, of the
Omaha, and j. G. Boyden, of the st.
Paul, was appointed to consider and
bring about a temporary increase in the

LAKE CARRIAGE.

We cannot too much commend the
spirit of diSintereSted fairness which
actuateS the Chicago Herald in calling
attention to the fact that the great lakes,
in the outlet they afford to the products
of the Northwest, are of greater import
ance to the American people than the
Atlantic ocean itself. The lakes not
only afford a cheap and easy means of
communication to the sea board for
country which is the greatest granary
in the world, and whose products are
annually increasing in value, but they
also act as a regulator of railway rates,
into competition with which lake trans
portation, of course, comes directly.
The tonnage carried each year on the
lakes is greater than that transported
by the Ohio and Mississippi together,
yet while congress has given S25, 100000
for the development of these
streams it has in all granted
but S9,0G0,000 for the improvement of
the lakes. 1t is the immense carrying
trade which must always take this
route to the coast that has made Duluth
the thrifty, enterprising city it is, and
Chott gives II suCH SioWlIiS pioiHlSe lOT
the future, and it is because this trade
must continue to increase in volume in
stead of diminish that the government
should increase in every respect posi-
bic the facilities for inter-lake com
munication. The one most serious
obstacle is the difficulty in passing from
Lake Superior to Lake Huron. A con-
yention will meet at SAINT Saintn Maria
on July 20 to consider ways and means
for securing proper canal facilities.
The meeting should be well attended
by the representative business men of
the Northwest, and steps should then
be taken to procure such united action
that congress will not fail to grant
sufficient appropriation to carry out the
work

Probably Murdered.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Two dead bodies
were found in the lake his morning
and suspicious circumstances surround
both. A ragged hole in the left breast
showed where large-sized bullet had
entered and passed directly through the
heart of one man. From all appear
anceS he had been in the water about
four days. There was nothing on him
to give clue as to his name. Some
presumably Bohemian. were found in
his coat pocket, but the name was too
dim to be read. The other body was
that of Eugene Wright, colored man,
who has been missing since June Is.
He was last seen on Tuesday night
in company with another colored man
and it is thought he came to his death
in some other way than by accident.
